Meet Your New Analytics Dashboard: Independent Analytics
As your reliable technical partner, we're always looking for ways to improve your hosting experience and provide more value. We're excited to announce that we have added Independent Analytics to our portfolio of agency-licensed plugins, and it will be pre-installed on all new WordPress sites we set up.
This powerful, lightweight plugin provides simple, easy-to-understand website analytics right inside your WordPress dashboard. No need to configure complicated tools like Google Analytics or add extra tracking codes—it just works, right out of the box.
Why We're Adding Independent Analytics
We chose this plugin for two main reasons, both of which are designed to improve your service:
1. Simple, Privacy-Friendly Stats for You
Many of our clients are busy marketers and designers who just want to know how their site is performing without digging through complex reports. Independent Analytics is perfect for this. At a glance, you can see:
- How many visitors your site gets
- Which of your pages or posts are most popular
- Where your traffic is coming from (e.g., Google, Facebook, etc.)
It's a "privacy-first" tool, meaning it doesn't collect personal data or use cookies, which is great for GDPR and user trust. Of course, you don't even need to look at this dashboard if you don't want to. As always, if you want to know how your site is performing, just ask us and we'll happily pull a report for you!
2. Evolving Our Plans for Modern Web Performance
This plugin also helps us modernize our hosting plans to make them fairer and more sustainable.
Traditionally, hosting plans have been based on storage and **bandwidth**. However, as we make heavy use of modern technologies like the QUIC.Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN), "server bandwidth" is no longer an accurate or useful metric. The CDN serves a huge portion of your website's traffic from servers all over the world, which makes your site incredibly fast but means those visits don't use your main server's bandwidth.
To reflect this modern reality, we are transitioning our hosting plans to be based on storage and total website visitors. Independent Analytics gives us a clear and accurate way to measure visitor traffic, ensuring our plans are priced fairly based on the actual resources your site uses—not an outdated metric.
We're On It!
This is all part of our "Done For Your" promise. You don't need to do anything to set this up, manage it, or even understand it. It's just one more way we're working behind the scenes to provide you with a fast, reliable, and modern hosting platform.
If you have any questions, want us to walk you through your new analytics dashboard, or want to chat about how our plans are evolving, please don't hesitate to reach out. No question is too basic!
